Directions to The Studio

The Studio is located in Moshav Bitan Aharon in Emeq Hefer, just off the Coastal Road (#2) north of Netanya.

From the south: take the Coastal Road (#2) north past all three Netanya exits (Poleg/Ikea, Sapir, Netanya/Kfar Yona) to the Havazzelet interchange (Havazzelet/Givat Shapira/Bitan Aharon). DO NOT get off at that interchange; rather, remain on the Coastal Road for another hundred meters or so until you cross under a bridge, after which you will see a sign ("Bitan Aharon 250 meters") that directs you off the road to the right. Once off the Coastal Road drive straight ahead. You will pass a new shopping plaza on your right (Cafenetto, MacDonald's). The entrance to Bitan Aharon is only a few meters ahead on the left, but there is no longer a left turn there. You will need to drive straight for another twenty meters, come all the way around the traffic circle, and head back toward the Coastal Road. The entrance to Bitan Aharon is now on your right, so turn right and continue straight over three speed bumps and onto a gravel road. After about 60 meters you will see a sign for The Studio on your right. Turn in and park along the driveway, then walk up to The Studio. (The drive from the Coastal Road to The Studio should take you no longer than two minutes.)

From the north: take the Coastal Road (#2) south past the Beit Yannai exit to the Havazzelet exit (Sonol petrol station). You will need to cross over the Coastal Road, which you do by turning left when you get off the exit and left again at the T on the other (east) side of the bridge. Continue to the T at the bottom of the road. Turn right. The entrance to Bitan Aharon is only a few meters ahead on the left, but there is no longer a left turn there. You will need to drive straight for another twenty meters, come all the way around the traffic circle, and head back toward the Coastal Road. The entrance to Bitan Aharon is now on your right, so turn right and continue straight over three speed bumps and onto a gravel road. After about 60 meters you will see a sign for The Studio on your right. Turn in and park along the driveway, then walk up to The Studio. (The drive from the Coastal Road to The Studio should take you no longer than two minutes.)

Jerusalemites (and others) may wish to travel via the Trans Israel Highway (#6). Get off at the Nitzanei Oz exit and follow the signs to Netanya, which is due west on Road #57. At Netanya, follow the northbound Coastal Road (#2) to the Havazzelet interchange (Havazzelet/Givat Shapira/Bitan Aharon). See 'from the south,' above.

You can also reach Bitan Aharon via Road #5710, which runs from the Hefer junction on Road #4 to Bitan Aharon.
